Bailey Cheer News

It was a dark and stormy night for the bears at their last regular season. The wind was wonderfully cool, but a wall of rain was on its way. The girls cheered on the 7 grade A team boys, with help from an enthusiastic crowd, to a victory! While cheering, throwing t-shirts, jumping and flipping, lightning started to brighten up the sky. The game was called during the third quarter, we were way ahead of Lively! Gracie got to take home the Bailey spirit bear, congratulations Gracie!
